This invention relates to Window construction and has for its object a particularly simple and efficient arrangement and" con; struction of a sash lock or holder on sashes having narrow stiles, partlcularly hollow In describing this invention, refei ence is had to the accompanying drawingsin which like characters designate correspondlng parts in all the views;

Walls 11, 12 .extend latcrally {beyond the preferably at; the corner thereof, and 18 is a k v l if f e 95W. he. ase. 1 nd having an angnlarly extending pinchhandle 2O arrangedin jnxtapositionto a handle 21f i d, g h' ase Pla '1 in ,tl ein ue lm n-i er"- 1 Tb ilek leve l7. s-n f vided .W thau arrn 22' overlying'the sash and extending lengthwise of the stile and having an in wardly and angularly extending arm 23 projecting through an opening 24: in one of the 'walls, as the wall 12 ofthe stile, this arm 22 having means within the stile for coactin with the window guide, this meansbeing here shown as a nose or look bolt 25 extending laterally from its inner end and arranged to engage any one of the numberof holes 26 in the guide 13 to lock the sash in closed position or at different elevations. The lock 18 is pressed toward its closed position by a suitable spring 27. The filler block 15 if used is also providedwith a suitable recess 28, in which the angularly extending arm 23 and its nose 25 is located.

'lhis'window sash and lock construction is particularly adapted for railway cars and motor vehicles or busses, particularly motor vehicles where the stiles and rails are necessarily narrow and as li ht as possible, and,

owing to its construction, can be manufactured economically and sold at such a low price as to be commercial for motor, buss-es.

What I claim is:

1. In a window sash construction, the combinationflwith a window guide, of a'sash movable along the guide and including a hollow sheet metal stile open at its edge, one wall of the stile being formed with a slot therethrough above the level of the rail of the sash and a sash lock comprising a base mounted on'the outer side of the sash at the corner thereof and mechanism including a movable element carried by the base and extending lengthwise of the stile on the outer side thereof having an arm extending through the slot into the stile and means at 'the inner end of said arm within the sash for coacting with the guide, said means and guide coacting through the open edge of the stile.

'2. In a window sash construction, the combination with a window guide and a sash movable alongthe guide and formed with a stile having a hollow portion opening through the edge of the sash and with a slot extending through one of the walls of the hollow portion above the level of the rail of the sash, a sash lock comprising a base on the outer side of the sash and mecha-' nism carried by the base including a lever pivoted to the base and having 'an arm extending lengthwise of the stile and provided 7 with an angular arm extending through the slot into the hollow portion of the stile and means at the inner end of said arm within the stile for coacting with the guide.

said member having a handle onthe outside of the sash. i

5. A window sash construction comprising a hollow, sheet metal member open at its edge, the guide having a portion extending into the sash member through the open edge thereof, one wall of said member being formed with an opening therethrough and a sash lock comprising a base mounted on the outer side of the sash member, and a movable locking lever carried by the base and mounted to move about an axis at an angle to the plane of said sash member, and having an angular portion extending through said slot, and a window guide extending into the sash member through the open edge thereof, the angular portion of the locking lever coacting with the guide.
